Northern Liberties – Green & Coolest 'Hood in Philadelphia!

Beth & I officially live in the coolest neighborhood in Philly.

Northern Liberties (so hot right now!) is featured in National Geographic Traveler.

What’s cooler (and GPB-approp) is the number of green ‘sites’ on the interactive map such as:

  • Arcadia Boutique– My favorite store with eco-friendly threads! (I wish it were my secret, but it’s too cool not to share)
  • Standard Tap – (What’s not to love about local brews?!?)
  • Piazza @ Schmidts – When you’re not staring at the 26×16 foot TV screen, check out Bambi Gallery‘s recycled skateboards by Victor Navez
  • Liberty Lands – Loaded with plants, flowers, pups, people, & fun!

Who’s going to argue that anywhere  in Philly  is hipper right now – when Liberties Walk, Honey’s, North 3rd, North Bowl, Silk City, and so much more are in this ‘hood?
